In silico genome-wide analysis of homeodomain-leucine zipper transcription factors in L.

HD-Zip (Homeodomain-Leucine Zipper) is a family of transcription factors unique to higher plants and plays a vital role in plant growth and development. Increasing research results show that HD-Zip transcription factors are widely involved in many life processes in plants. However, the HD-Zip transcription factor for cannabis, a valuable crop, has not yet been identified.

Genome-Wide Analysis of B3 Transcription Factors in L.

The B3 transcription factor has been identified in , , and , among other species. This family of transcription factors regulates seed growth, development, and stress. Cannabis is a valuable crop with numerous applications; however, no B3 transcription factors have been identified in this plant.

[Sperm DNA damage in young men working on the plateau].

Objective: To investigate whether long working in the high-altitude area can damage sperm DNA in men.

Methods: We enlisted 51 service men stationed on the plateau in an observation group and another 53 living in the low-altitude area in a control group. We detected and compared the damages to sperm DNA in the semen samples from the two groups using single cell gel electrophoresis and the sperm chromatin dispersion test.

[Release of colloidal N and P from sediment of lake caused by continuing hydrodynamic disturbance].

The course of continuing hydrodynamic disturbance and succeeding long time settlement of lake water was simulated to study the release of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from lake sediment. It was showed in the experiment that the hydrodynamic disturbance caused abundant release of particulate and colloidal phosphorus and nitrogen. The concentration of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) in water reached the highest values of 2.

[Effect of wind-induced wave on concentration of colloidal nutrient and phytoplankton in Lake Taihu].

In order to find out the characteristics of colloidal nutrient and phytoplankton under different wind conditions in Lake Taihu, observation were carried out and samples were collected. Colloid was collected by using cross-flow ultrafiltration system. Organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in colloidal, dissolved and other fractions of water samples were determined, and concentration and biomass of phytoplankton were also determined.
